A red giant with a cool surface, it burns like banked coals rather than flame, a deep ember on the Great Square where the horse's leg is drawn. Its star words are freedom and whimsy. At midnight it wavers red at the top of the southern sky. The day's color is Blue Plus (#003221), a near-black green whose color word is tree shade — a cool patch of shadow beneath an ember's glow.
